Illinois State is believed to be the first school ever to qualify for the Semifinals in a D1 postseason tournament in Football, MBB, and WBB in the same academic year. They lost an overtime heartbreaker in the FCS Final, and are headed to the NIT Semifinal and WNIT Fab Four.
Just watched “The Shepherd” on Disney plus

#OTD 1949 - George Hendrick was born in Los Angeles, CA.
"Silent George" was a very underrated player for the Cardinals teams in the "Whiteyball" era.
Happy 76th Birthday George!

DRIER SUMMER AHEAD?
Recent pattern/data trends have been to bring below normal precipitation further east into more of the Midwest and Ohio Valley - with a more notable drought risk for the Northern and Central Plains.

Illinois State is a team that is quietly winning the offseason.
The Redbirds top two leading scorers have both elected to return & not enter the transfer portal.
-- Chase Walker: 15.2 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 58.0 FG% as a sophomore
-- Johnny Kinziger: 14.6 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 43.8 FG% as a sophomore
Both are no doubt P5-level players. Redbirds will be at the top of the MVC.
Yes, I like to plant in dust but when you miss the “can’t miss big rain” you tend to wonder how much drier are we going to get

15 years ago I walked into a church basement off of Diversy and Sheffield in Chicago and honestly, in full surrender, said I was an alcoholic. Little did I know that 15 yrs later I would look back and realize it was the best decision I would ever make. Here's a few things I have learned along the way.
- What you think of me is none of my business
- All emotional responses and physical responses derive from 2 core elements. Love or Fear.
-Living life in brutal honesty is total freedom
- I love who I am and know I am perfectly imperfect.
- You can only help others if you are not dwelling on yourself.
- If it's not a matter of life and death it's not worth worrying about.
- If others are annoying me I am not centered
- My physical and mental fitness is the core to my happiness and life fulfillment
- Most of what happens in your life is out of your control. It's your choice to let go or be dragged.
Everything I have in my life is due to that decision 15 yrs ago and I remain blessed as long as I walk the line.
And of course the biggest blessing is to share this journey with my wonderful wife @Jheinelover
